Hi, Joe,
Deal killer? Backpressure would be an issue
if the engine's run u/w. Otherwise wouldn't you have a shutoff to the
snorkel?

Carsten mentioned something recently regarding Spurdog starting the diesel
at depth to blow ballast with the exhaust but, as you noted, this is in a 1
atm boat. (Same as sea level). Too much negative pressure is not a good thing
either.
In my ambient, I am anticipating exhaust
backpressure issues to be resolved, partly by routing the
exhaust up high in the sail. This is a potential deal killer for the
14 hp engine and I have yet to receive an answer from Yanmar on the
subject.

Will a diesel engine run in a pressurized environment? For example:
If I had a 1ATM boat, and for some reason needed to run it at depth, (aside
from the obvious huge consumption of air) would the engine run at all?
